Seems H.M. Gov. got it wrong when they declassified cannabis to a
class C controlled substance from class B last year.
Your home secretary has ordered a rethink and it looks awfully like
they are going to do a U-turn and reclassify it back to B.

Do you feel safer?
The irony is that when I googled 'cannabis' in news, when sorted by
relevance and not by date, this is what showed up
http://80.4.36.135/blurb\Google%20Search%20cannabis.htm
Does this mean that it will be ok for people who take cannabis for
pain relief to be at risk of psychosis until such times as the health
secretary gets his act together and sets license to cannabis for
medical use?
*22% of people use it for depression* - go figure.
Oh, the Tories are no better and are bleating 'told you so', so if you
really want a radical rethink to your drug policies you will have the
chance to shout your opinion 1st week in May (?),
but I for one certainly am going to seek out my prospective candidates
to see if I can't get the chance for a natter about their views on the
subject, and if enough like minded people go asking the right
questions (and I mean more t'wards the mushrooms than the weed ), then
it would certainly highlight our plight at the right time, ...when
what 'we' are going to do affects 'them' !!
Take a dictaphone and record the conversation, put them right on the
spot.. they will be only too happy to talk to you... until they
find out what you want to talk about and what side of the fence you
sit on.
I might even go ward-hopping, it should make for some interesting
statistics/research material.
This declassifying and reclassifying of a plant that needs no
preparation or procedure to be effective, is a fiasco at the taxpayers
expense.
To make the same mistake with mushrooms would be unforgivable.
The plant they charge us to argue over is illegal anyway, and
declassification has made no difference to use, and the fact that
smokers are at risk of psychosis has always been widely published and
surely understood by the adult users, so to reclassify is pointless,
unless you want to make carrying a heavier sentence to heap further on
an already overburdened judiciary and overpopulated penal system a
point.
The fact is that the real dangers are in young people using such
substances and alcohol. Better education is what is required, but with
all the facts available and not propaganda on which to come to a
conclusion.
The mushroom they intend to ban also requires no preparation or
procedure to be effective, and at the moment, even the huge surge in
use over the last 3-4 years has not thrown up any real and present
dangers with hallucinogenic mushrooms use and we all know of the risks
that come with use, so as adults make choice, we understand long term
may be a different story ..
but even this has yet to *prove* harmful, in fact it is entirely
possible that the exact opposite might be the case and that mushrooms
are in fact good for you as you get older...
..maybe that's it, maybe they do and the government know this, and
they are shitting themselves at the thought of a pensions supercrisis
above and beyond the bag of shit they are already holding.
If they can get it wrong with cannabis, they can get it wrong with
anything.
If they can get it wrong in favour for, they can get in wrong in
favour against.
I suppose my point is that this is the time when we, the electorate,
have a voice.
They haven't got a clue.
I am going to do my damndest to highlight this to them directly,
personally.
I would encourage others to use this opportunity in whatever way they
see useful.
Rant over.
